a Look at th e picture and guess th e answers to the questions.
What is this sculpture made of? Why do you think it was built?
b Read the te x t quickly and see if your guesses in Exercise 3a w ere correct.
This giant m onster is a
sculpture created by Paul
Bonomini. It's called the
WEEE Man. WEEE stands
fo r 'Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment',
also known as 'e-waste'.
Paul Bonomini wanted
to show how much
electrical waste a e-waste one human being can create. The seven-
normal person in the
UK generates in an average lifetim e o f 77 years. The
average fam ily in Britain owns 25 electrical items and
each person generates 517 kg o f rubbish each year. Only
104 kg are recycled and the rest goes to landfill sites.
The WEEE Man weighs 3.3 tonnes (3,300 kg), which is
the am ount o f e-waste produced by the average person
in th eir lifetim e. That's the equivalent o f the w eight o f
three cars.
If e-waste isn't recycled, it sits in landfill sites and the
toxic material goes into the ground and contaminates
the earth. So, why do we produce so much waste
anyway? Well, have you ever tried to repair your
broken printer or camera? In many places it can
11.14 Read th e te x t again and listen.
Then answer the questions.
1 What do the numbers in the text refer to: 77, 25, 517,
3,300 and 7?
2 What does Paul Bonomini want people to think
about when they see his sculpture?
3 Give two reasons why it can be difficult to repair
electrical appliances.
4 Give an example of how one country has been
inspired by the WEEE Man.
5 What have many countries done recently to try
and solve the problem of e-waste?
Find the words in the te x t th a t mean ...
1 typical or usual (para 1)
2 places where waste is put in the ground (para 2 )
3 makes something dirty or poisonous (para 2)
4 relating to the environment (para 3)
5 prohibit or not allow (para 4)
6 companies that produce something (para 4)
Who do think made it?
be difficult, as m ost electrical repair shops have
disappeared. Even if you find a shop to repair your old
goods, it often costs more to repair som ething like a
washing machine or toaster than to th ro w it away and
buy a new one!
The WEEE Man now lives at the Eden Project, an
environmental centre in Cornwall, in the southwest
o f England. Thousands o f people have already visited
the WEEE Man and seen for themselves just how much
m etre-tall sculpture has really made a big impression
on everyone w ho has seen it. It has also inspired other
artists to make sculptures out o f e-waste. In fact, the
Czech Republic has held a com petition for artists

Since the WEEE Man was 'born', the problems we have
w ith disposing o f e-waste haven't disappeared and we
haven't found a real solution yet. We can't ban e-waste,
b ut things are g ettin g better. Many countries have
just introduced new laws to force the manufacturers
o f electrical goods to recycle old items. But have we
already created too much waste?

1 Is it possible to recycle e-waste in your town?
If so, how?
2 What things do you recycle and reuse?
3 Do you think recycling is important?
Why? / Why not?
Did you know that some regions in <
the UK give rewards to residents who
recycle a lot of waste? They weigh the
waste and residents win points. The points
can be exchanged for things like cinema
tickets. Do you think it's a good idea? Are
there any similar schemes where you live?

to buy extra food and drinking water - we expect it w ill be difficult to get to the
shops once the rain starts, but I think we'll cope with the situation if we prepare for
it. In the city there are often floods and the electricity sometimes gets cut off. But
that's nothing compared to what can happen in the countryside. Every year there are
huge floods near rivers or the sea, and hundreds of people lose their homes.

of forest fires, or bushfires. We've just had a few bushfires in my area. Luckily,
nobody was badly hurt this time, but hundreds of houses were burnt to the

kangaroos and cows, were killed. Lots of people volunteered to help as
firefighters, but I'm helping to Look after the people who have lost their
homes. We've got a place for them to stay and we're making them food, but

Students on Ice offers unique educational
expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic for
young people aged 14- 18. This Canadian
organisation brings teachers and scientists
together to work with students from
around the world who are interested in
learning about the polar regions. They
travel on a ship and make trips onto
the land and ice to learn about local
communities, wildlife, and marine and
plant life. Learning about these places
in a classroom is one thing, but learning
about them when you are physically there
is completely different! The founder of
the organisation, Geoff Green, hopes that
when participants return home they will
be Polar Ambassadors. This means they
will be able to give talks, do research and
motivate others to become interested in
protecting the polar regions.

One group of young people met in Inuvik, northern Canada, to take part
in a conference on climate change. The participants had the opportunity
to learn from experts. As well as learning about climate change in talks
and presentations, they also went out on 'field trips' to learn more about
the land and to experiment with new green technologies such as solar-
powered cars. They all agreed that it is important to campaign to help slow
down the dimate changes that are affecting the landscape and will affect
the whole planet in the future.

Lessons or no lessons? Do it yourself Transcendental meditation

Lessons in life
Many schools in the UK are experimenting with new ways of learning. We visited a few of them.

A B
W h o needs teachers w hen y o u have the internet? In an
experim ent at E g g b u c k la n d School, in Devon, a grou p
o f second ary stu d e nts were allowed to take control
o f their ow n learning. T h e y researched lessons u sin g
laptops and then ta ught each other. The teachers let
them make m istakes and d id n 't correct them at all.
The stu d e nts soon learned to look at several internet
sites w hile p re pa ring their lessons. D an Buckley, the
head teacher, said the stu d e nts gave excellent lessons.
H o w did the laptop g ro u p get on compared with
students in other classes? A t the end o f the first
year, the independent learners got w orse m arks than
stu d e nts in traditional classes. B u t after tw o years they
all got high e r grades in their final exams.
Fre d d y Fuller m editates for 45 m inutes, m o rn in g and evening,
w ith tw o other 15-m inute session s d u rin g the day. He says it
calm s him dow n and helps him fo cus on schoolw ork. Freddy, aged
16, attends a small private school in Lancashire. All stu d e nts at
the school meditate silently for 10 m inutes at the b e g in n in g and
end o f the day. T h e y can meditate for lo nge r if they want. The
sch o o ls exam results are tw ice as good as the national average.
The St Jam e s Inde p end e n t School, in L on d on , also has daily
m editation for all its students. The head teacher, D a vid Boddy,
thinks that m editation helps stu d e nts concentrate in class, but
believes that liste n ing to m usic or p la y in g vid e o gam es has the
opposite effect. The students arent allowed to use M P 3 players
in s c h o o l At St Jam es, every class starts and finishes w ith a
3 0 -se co n d silence, so students can prepare their m in d s for
stu d ying.

c ......................................
Sum m erhill, in Suffolk, is fam ous for b e in g different. It is called the school where yo u d o n 't have to go to le sso n s
or the school w ith no rules. B u t there are a lot o f rules. The difference is that rules are m ade at the school council,
where all the teachers and p upils have one vote each. However, the council d o e sn t let students do eve ryth ing they
want. Tor example, the p u n ishm e n t for w ritin g graffiti on the walls is a 2 fine.
A n d do students have to go to le sso n s? C h ae -E u n Park, a 16-year-old student from South Korea, explains that
stu d e nts can choose w hich le sso n s they w ant to attend. She thinks that stud e nts learn to be confident and responsible
because they are allowed to make choices for themselves. A s a result, Su m m e rhills exam results are im pressive.

H/ there
Let we give you a few ideas. First off, we reed a
n*uch bigger science lab and you should let the younger
kids use it. The equipment's really old, too. And
another thing - we need more computers so everybody
can do their homework in the library, blot everyone has
a computer at home, you know! 3 efore 1 fnish, 1 want
to say that it would be cool i f we could talk more to
teachers. A school council for students and teachers
would be great.
OK, that's all. Write back soon.
Cheers,
Ally J~

Dear Ms Brown
I am w ritin g to explain how I think the school can
be improved.
Firstly, I think we should improve the science facilities.
In my opinion we need tw o new science laboratories
w ith more modern equipment. At the moment there
is only one laboratory and younger students are not
allowed to use it because it is used by the older
students every day.
A n othe r p o in t is th a t there are not enough computers
in the libraries. Many students would like to do their
homework there and not everyone has a computer at
home. I recommend buying a lot more computers.
Finally, I'd like to say that I think we should have more
discussion between teachers and students. We could
have a school council meeting every month to talk
about important issues. The school council would be
able to plan ways o f raising money for things like
new computers.
I hope these ideas are useful. I loo k fo rw a rd
to hearing fro m you soon.
Yours sincerely.

Young and talented

TV talent shows are one of the most popular types of entertainment
on television these days, but it's not just singers and dancers who
share their talent with studio audiences and viewers at home.
At the age of 22, Abdi Farah won the reality TV show Work of Art
with his artistic creations. The prize was his very own exhibition
at the world-famous Brooklyn Museum in New York and over
$100,000. During the competition, Abdi created many paintings
and photographs, but his sculptures of athletes and self-portraits
were what won him the title of The Next Great Artist'. For Abdi,
taking part in the show was the greatest artistic experience of his
life. Before the show, he had expected to learn about business and
working with people, but he found that he actually learned a lot
about art itself. In his opinion, one of the best things about the show
is that viewers are able to follow the development of the works of
art from the beginning, when they are just ideas, to the finished
product.
18-year-old Emily Ludolf was still at school when she appeared
on the TV cookery show Masterchef. Even though she didn't win,
the young finalist impressed the judges with her imagination and
creativity in the kitchen. It's a tough competition: contestants are
filmed for a month, sometimes 22 hours a day. They are given a
selection of food and only have a few minutes to decide what to
cook and how to cook it. For the contestants, part of the excitement
is not knowing what the final dish will taste like, but Emily amazed
everyone with her talent for combining unusual flavours. Emily
had visited South Africa, Morocco and Cuba before she was on
Masterchef and she used ideas from these places in her recipes.
Emily's ambitions are to travel and learn more about food from
other cultures, become a food writer and one day have her own
restaurant.
American fashion designer Christian Siriano has designed clothes
for everyone from Heidi Klum to Lady Gaga. He became famous
after his appearance on the TV reality show Project Runway,
where contestants have to design clothes in a limited amount of
time. During the show, the 21-year-old won more challenges than
any other participant. Through his hard work and determination
Christian won first prize and presented his collection at New York
Fashion Week, where he now presents regularly. Before going on
Project Runway, Christian was familiar with the fashion industry as
he had worked as a make-up artist, a wedding dress designer and
for British designers Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen.
Since winning the show, he has started his own successful business
and his designs have appeared in the most important fashion
magazines around the world.

On 21 October 1978 Frederick Valentich, aged 20,
took off in a small plane from Melbourne, Australia.
45 minutes later Frederick contacted the airport
in Melbourne. He said he could see a huge aircraft
flying very close to him. Later he said the plane
seemed to be chasing him. Then, terrified, he
spoke his final words to Melbourne: That
strange aircraft is hovering on top of me again.
Its hovering, and its not an aircraft! Frederick
then disappeared. Rescue services looked for
him but did not find anything. At the same
time as the accident, about 20 people had
seen a strange green light in the sky.

3 h p L a t th e tW P'CtUreS' W hich d 0 you th in k is th e
healthier activity? Which do you think is more fun?

( T ) Scientists at the University of Oklahoma have found that playing active

video games can be as effective for teenagers as doing moderate exercise.
The research shows that active video games can help to keep you fit. This is
especially important fo r many young people of today's generation who often
spend too much time watching television or playing games sitting down.
Dr Kevin Short believes that too many young people don't do enough exercise,
and although ploying active video games is no substitute for 'real' sports activities,
you can burn calories. He thinks that any exercise is better thon no exercise at all.
The investigation tested teenagers while they watched television and played
active video games. Compared to watching television, the calories burned while
active gaming increased by two or three times.
Overall, the energy used while playing active video games was similar to walking
quite fast. So, for young people who play a lot of computer games, changing to
> n cnffi fun and valuable means of doing exercise.
Active video games can play an important role
in getting young people off the sofa and interested
in physical activity. But are they really a replacement
for traditional exercise? Colleen Greene, MA, from
the University of Michigan, doesn't think so.
In recent research, she found that some video
games, like golf or tennis, reguire as little activity
as a swing of the wrist. This is not enough to gualify
as 'real' exercise. Research shows that although you
can burn real calories during virtual gaming, if you
played the game or sport in 'real life' you would
burn three to four times the amount.
Greene does note, however, that a few active
video games can help to improve confidence and
hand-eye co-ordination. She believes that for some
teenagers active gaming can be a safe place to try
a new sport, which they may then want to actually
play. She is sure, though, that it is not enough
exercise to just play video games. She suggests that
young people should get outside in the fresh air and
give 'real' sports a try.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am w riting to complain about the 'MiniDigi 75 x-sport video camera' I bought from your website in
February. I am usually very happy with your products, but this time I am very disappointed.
Your site informed me th a t the camera would take 3-5 days to arrive. I placed my order on the 7th
and eventually received my camera on the 23rd after making five phone calls to your customer service
number. When the camera arrived, I was disappointed to discover th a t the box didn't contain the camera
bag th a t was included in the price. In addition to this, the battery does not work properly. I followed the
instructions for recharging the battery, but instead of the advertised 9-hour battery life, the camera only
lasts for 5 hours before i t needs to be recharged. This is very inconvenient because I bought the camera
to film skating competitions, which often Last all day. I am also very disappointed with the quality of the
picture. I t should be 8 mega-pixels and HD but I'm afraid th a t the quality is not good enough. Please find
enclosed a photo taken with this camera.
To resolve the problem, I suggest th a t you send me the camera bag immediately and I would also like
you to change the camera for a different model. I would like the MiniDigi 82 instead, for the same price.
I would like a solution to my problem w ithin the next week. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

ELECTRONIC MUSIC
The song Zeroes and Ones was recorded in 1993 by the
band Jesus Jones.
Electronic music started in the 1960s. The first sound
synthesisers looked like computers. The strange-
sounding music they produced was used as background
music in films and TV programmes, especially for science-
flction programmes. In the 1970s and 80s, bands started
using electronic keyboards along with more traditional
instruments. The keyboards could create interesting
sounds and rhythms. In the 1990s and 2000s, electronic
dance music became popular. Live bands were often
replaced by DJs, who mixed the music on stage.

The camera
never lies
We have all heard the expression T h e camera
never lies', b u t is this really true? Everywhere we
look we see photos o f gorgeous people with
amazingly perfect smiles, or m outh-watering
images o f fo o d that looks to o g o od to eat.
However, are these photos real, or are they fake?
n the past , only professional photographers were able
to change the appearance of a photo, but nowadays
people can adapt their
own images at home
with a computer and
photo-editing software.
It seems as though
there are no longer
any photos of people
with red eyes or spots
because more and
more of us are editing
our own pictures. As
well as changing eye
colour, we can copy
and paste someone into The power of photo editing.
a different situation or
add special effects to the photo. We can change peoples
physical appearance - they can become prettier, slimmer,
taller or even uglier, fatter and older!
Most of us would be shocked if we realised how much the
beauty industry depends on photo manipulation. Almost
all images used to sell beauty products are altered to make
the models look younger or more beautiful. Perhaps if we
saw the original photo, we wouldnt worry so much about
our own appearance. One beauty company ran a campaign
to tell the truth behind photo manipulation in advertising.
They wanted the campaign to make people aware of
natural beauty.
But if we are truthful, how many of us want to open a
magazine to find unedited photos of supermodels with
bad skin or having a bad hair day? Perhaps we prefer the
magazine to be full of these perfectfake images. So maybe
the question we need to ask is not Does the camera ever
lie?, but Should advertisements use real pictures and tell
the truth about their products?

a n a iu tS P tit
Plays from the sixteenth century are boring, right?
Wrong, says rapper Akala, who has loved both
Shakespeare and hip hop since he was at school.
He thinks both use powerful rhythms to get across
messages about timeless themes like love, money,
jealousy, friendship, passion and revenge.
Akala believes that many teenagers are turned o ff
Shakespeare because they only read his words on the page
in school. Hip Hop Shakespeare is his project to bring the
beat to the bard. He organises rapping workshops where
young people use Shakespeare's original plots, but rewrite
the words so they sound like hip hop.
Come and see the results at the Hip Hop Shakespeare
event at Londons South Bank Centre on 25th July. You can
join in and rap along w ith Akala and his big sister, hip hop
star Ms Dynamite!

a Montague anyway? It isn't a hand, a foot, an arm,
a face, or any other part of a man. Oh, take another
name!
W hat does a name matter? A rose would smell just as
sweet if we called it something else. Romeo would be
just as perfect if he w asnt called Romeo. Romeo,
change your name. Your name really has nothing to do
with you - get rid of your name and take me instead!

At the beginning o f the story we meet Shinji, a sensitive Japanese teenager

who lives w ith his parents. One night there is an invasion o f alien parasites.
These are tin y creatures which enter the brain and turn humans into terrifying
monsters. While Shinji is in his bedroom listening to music, a parasite suddenly
tries to get into his ear. Luckily, Shinji's headphones stop it. Unfortunately,
it does get into his left hand. At first Shinji thinks he is dreaming, but soon
afterwards he realises th a t his hand does not belong to him. Surprisingly, the
parasite can communicate and Shinji gets to know it. Meanwhile, the monsters
are killing and eating millions o f humans... W h a t happens in th e end? You'll

shopping to keeping in touch w ith

our personal in fo rm a tio n is stored online. This means
th a t we are all possible targets for hackers, and hacking
laws are becoming stricter to protect us. Consequently,
in the future more young hackers could find themselves
going to prison for th e ir crimes. In 2005, a teenage
hacker from Massachusetts was sentenced to 11 months
in a youth ja il for hacking into Paris Hilton's mobile
phone and putting a copy o f her address book online,
which included email addresses o f celebrity friends
like Eminem and Christina Aguilera. As well as having a
crim inal record for the rest o f his life, the 17-year-old
was banned from using a computer or mobile phone for
two years.
In 2008, 18-year-olds Omar Khan and Tanvir Singh
were charged w ith breaking in to th e ir high school and
hacking into the computer network. Khan used stolen
IDs and passwords to cheat on tests and to change his
average C and D grades in to A grades. He wanted to
make sure he got into university, but teachers became
suspicious when they noticed he suddenly had some of
the best marks in the school. He spent graduation day
in prison instead o f celebrating w ith his classmates.

A group o f about ten students were involved in the

who were a ll under 18, Khan and Singh were charged
w ith th e ir crimes as adults. Singh only broke into the
school once. He completed 200 hours o f community
service and three years of probation, and all charges
against him were eventually dropped. But Khan faced a
sentence o f prison tim e, probation, community service
and fines.
Michael Calce, who was also a teen hacker, now
wishes he hadn't committed his crimes. At ju s t 15, he
hacked in to some o f the biggest sites on the internet,
including Yahoo!, Amazon, CNN and eBay. He didn't steal
money or inform ation, but he shut down the sites to
show the world th a t computer security was vulnerable to
attack. He was arrested in 2000 and later regretted what

people can find m usic online, explain w hat
they can do w ith m usic w ithout breaking the
law and suggest how they can protect their
com puter w hen accessing m usic sites online.
G enerally speaking, it is fine to sw ap m usic on P2P (peer-to-peer)
netw orks if people follow copyright laws. H ow ever, one problem
w ith these netw orks is that users are at risk o f viruses or identity theft.
Social netw orking pages can also be used to share videos, photos or
m usic. W atching a video or listening to a song is usually fine, but
dow nloading a track onto a com puter could b e against the law.

T here are m any w ays o f accessing m usic

online, from dow nloading tracks or album s
to buying e-tickets. Som e sites allow fans to
listen to music to see if they like it before they
buy it and som e artists let people enjoy their
m usic for free, but m ost o f the time, m usic
has to be paid for.
To sum up, copyright law s p ro tect artists, and artists depend on
these law s to earn m oney for th eir w ork. B ecause o f this, sharing
copyrighted m usic w ithout perm ission is against the law and the
punishm ent is usually a huge fine. F or these reasons, I recom m end
that people find out about copyright laws, m ake sure th eir com puter
is protected against viruses and only use legal sites online.

Lily Allen has come a long, long way from her M ySpace
beginnings
*************
E Get social
It w orked for Lily Allen and the A rctic Monkeys and
it might just w o rk for you. Facebook allows easy-
to-design fan sites and artist pages, although cross
prom otion can be tricky. And you need to Tweet to
stay in touch w ith fans.
Get played and paid
O nline music stores like cdbaby.com specialise in
selling music from independent artists. They sell your
music in both CD and digital form at (including an
iTunes listing) for low start-up costs. It's how people
like Jack Johnson started out.
Festival focus
The UK has been in festival frenzy w ith many
m ajor events desperately looking for new talent
to fill secondary stages. Check out the website
www.efestivals.co.uk to find out what's on, where,
and w ho you need to approach.

Unlike MySpace songs, SoundCloud.com songs can
be embedded anywhere. It has no file-size lim it and
it lets fans com m ent on specific parts o f a recording.
Q uicker and easier than MySpace - just not as
popular ... Yet.
Hey Mr DJ!
There are tw o types o f radio DJ - those that play
from a playlist and those that break new music.
Ignore the form er and focus on the latter. It's easy to
find contact details via MySpace or Facebook, then
just send a high-quality MP3 (192kbps).
Think about the audience
M any unknow n musicians get their music heard
by having tracks published in videogames. Visit
gamespress.com and check out the contact details
for hundreds o f games publishers and developers.
Show what youre made of
If you w ant to impress a particular label or
artist, remix an official track and send it to the
management. This recently happened w ith the
Dandy W arhols - resulting in the remix being
included in their next official release.
Spend a little money and a lot of tim e
N othing is better than physical contact w ith potential
fans. Bulk-buy CDs, burn your best tracks, scribble
your band's URL, then give out to punters at the kind
o f gig that fits your music. Simple but effective.
Got the X-Factor?
Check out com m unity sites such as Garageband.com
for talent competitions that can result in a chart listing
and even being played on 400 FM radio stations.
